In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.1 Cor.15:32

For animal lovers, I posted a few brief videos on animals rescued in our wildfires. They are in the General Video section. One amazing video I posted is of a horse that sought refuge in a swimming pool in the town of Paradise, CA. The town was totally burned down. The horse survived amazingly. He was found by a man who returned to the demolished neighborhood.

Thats 65 f for the celsius impaired folks.

'And he came unto his father, .. and said, "My father:" .... and he said, "Here am I; who art thou, my son?" And Jacob said unto his father, "I am Esau thy firstborn; .. I have done according as thou badest me: .... arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, ...... that thy soul may bless me." And Isaac said unto his son, .. "How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because the LORD thy God brought it to me." (Genesis 27:18-20) Praise God! For His mercy and His grace -

Whether single or not, I think prayer and serving Him are not really negotiable for His children. I would say, perhaps for some, the reason they are not married is because they are not really ready for a relationship with someone, or at least a successful one. First have a successful relationship with the Lord, which is not possible without prayer or dedication to Him. If we cannot get that much right, then is it fair to say that God is doing us a favor by not bringing someone else into our lives?

by unemployment i mean chronic, at least years as somebody who is sick i would say health is essential and marriage or desire for pregnancy are luxuries one would only realize this when you are sick chronic unemployment or poverty is not fun either if one is single but healthy and have no financial worries one should be grateful just my two cents

If we could see what God see's what would we see? Imagine you see a large valley from a high mountain side and you and Jesus were standing there looking down. You see a river that flows through the valley. There were There were great fields on both sides and the river fed both sides. The one side was protestant and the other side was called Catholic. The valley was called The valley of confusion, and the River that fed the valley was called the river of Confusion The protestant side was cut up into many fields and each field named themselves and worshiped God according to there own beliefs and doctrines. Those of the individual fields couldn't see very far from their own field so they did not give much thought about what was of the other fields they were only concerned about their field. The Catholic side assumed they were the real Church and by using time tried bringing The protestants Back to their side. Now we must remember that both sides were fed by the same river called confusion. being in the valley no one could see the confusion. If one wanted to see The church from where Jesus saw it you would have to leave the valley and climb up to where Jesus was then you could see what God see,s Remember at Pentecost only one field was planted. They all learned the same doctrines of the apostles. no matter where a church was started it was counted as the same church There was not Catholic or protestant. The word Catholic was just a fluke expression used in a letter that somehow caught on. The same thing with the word Christion which was used to identify those who had received Christ at Antioch. We have the doctrines of the apostles in our bibles. we should not be tossed about by every wind of doctrines that comes down the road. The non Trinitarians Pentecostals is an example. Jim Jones. Waco Texas. Many Traditional denominations give them selves names that set themselves apart from other churches have peculiar doctrines that twist scripture. All we see today in our modern world churches came from the reformation 1500 AD. This leaves us to the question, How will the Lord who sees all choose his bride. There are no denominations in Gods kingdom. Have you looked at you own walk lately. His bride hhas made herself ready and gowns were given clean and white. the time has come for the great super. The marriage super of the Lamb. No ye not the ye are The Temple and that the spirit of God is in you. God bless

This is quite amazing, what a smart horse. Paradise, California was totally burned up by the current wildfires and many died and are missing in Northern California. We also have devastating wildfires in Southern California where I live. https://youtu.be/S95qtIZkumA

You're obviously not talking about this version of PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.

lol it does suck to be them.

You are entitled to your choice. If you think taking the creation stories in a ultra-literal way is best, by all means enjoy this understanding. Calling me a lair and incoherent without even knowing what I actually believe causes me not to take you seriously. To avoid further abuse I am going to ignore you now. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be always in your heart.

While the taste buds might agree , I have found that chocolate can cause in some folks nasty heart burn . Plus remember , a little too much excess on the lips and into the stomach , can cause a lil excess of weight on the hips . Lets watch them sugars . and by watch I don't mean watch as we inhale them . You loved sister .

Proclaiming to all, that JESUS IS the only name whereby one can be saved . The only hope that one has . Reminding all That their is no other plan of salvation . Bake up cookies or treats or such that say JESUS SAVES . Or little treats like banna cake bread with reminders Pointing only to Christ . DO all to point to Christ and all who receive him will be THANKFUL on HIS DAY .

Using my love for Jesus Christ to manipulate me into accepting your interpretation is not a good debate strategy.

In Genesis 1-2, there is not just one but two stories of the creation of humanity, and those stories do not quite agree with each other. That alone ought to be reason enough to argue that the literal interpretation of every verse, in isolation from the rest of the Bible, can’t really be correct. Otherwise, the Bible is contradicting itself.

The term "they" clearly demonstrating a lack of understanding of the complexity of the issue at hand and fails to see the great diversity of perspectives that unite under the umbrella of faith, repentance and hope in Jesus Christ. The current ultra-literal interpretations that lead to young earth creationism are not required by the text and has no impact or relevance to our Christian practices.

The satanic resurrection that God will allow satan to perform in the spirit of anti-Christ is a fulfillment linked to the Savior's pronouncement of one " coming in his own name " . Jesus claimed the power of His Father in His resurrection , and was REJECTED . Satan in the flesh will proclaim his own power for the satanic resurection and will be ACCEPTED by the world .

Where are those unconfessed sins? They are with all the other sins of the world that Jesus took away. They were nailed to a Cross 2000 years ago.Jesus was “ the sufficient payment for sin” . Every sin ever to be committed. A “ one time sacrifice”. We are not saved by the timely and opportune repentance that you mention.That is what I call “ lucky repentance”. The Blood Sacrifice is not adequate alone to save. We have to believe the Gospel AND keep out repentance ledgers up to date or we are damned.Pity the man that cursed after a car wreck and did not have time to repent before he died. If that man believed that Jesus died for his sins and the Shed Blood was the ONLY hope for his salvation , his sins were covered at his death. Nothing but the Blood.Those That do not get a lucky repentance are safe if they believe the Gospel plus nothing saves. The one who is actually in danger is the man who does not really believe that Jesus died for his sins.When one believes that Jesus saves, BUT you gotta repent to “ stay” saved have added to the Gospel and the death of Christ has no effect. They have fallen from Grace and according to Paul are accursed.As a saved Believer, I repent every day to restore fellowship with God . I am already forgiven .I am forgiven because I repented ( changed my mind) from unbelief in Jesus and Him only for Salvation to believing that Faith in the Shed Blood Of Jesus was the ONLY thing that can save me.Check out the lyrics to the old song “ Nothing But The Blood”—- it contains everything one needs to know about Salvation.Nothing about a “ timely,fortunate repentance”to be found in it.Faith plus nothing for Salvation.Its a free gift to those that do not work for it. It Ity

Amazing story Deb! There's always a glimmer of hope, even in the darkest hour!

Serve Him, love Him with all your heart, and be a holy sacrifice to Him. Read 1 Corinthians 7 for Paul's relationship advice.

Pity socal and northern california (is it norcal?). The fires ravaging the state and the death toll is terrifying. It was instant incineration for those folks. Pray for them.

Hello Dennis, I really enjoyed your story of the man on the Titanic, and understand better where you are coming from. I also have some concern as to being ready when called home. I think I have a weird and different understanding about confessing sin. God says to confess my sin. I do not remember anywhere the scripture says to ask forgiveness, or to say your sorry. Though I often whisper for God to be merciful to me, a sinner. Could be I simply have not came across the scripture, or remember it. To ask forgiveness seems to me like doubting what Jesus has already done, on the cross. And I cannot force emotions, or try to con God by saying I'm sorry, when he says 'who can know their heart' and the heart is despicably wicked, and I know my flesh is not sorry, only my grieving spirit. I mostly feel foolish/shamed for not hitting His mark, after so many lessons taught by my caring faithful Father. But the scripture does say to confess them, agree with our creator, that I need to have a better aim, and practice more, and learn the the more better way to raise my "marksmanship," and hit, not keep missing, His mark. "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not.............miss.............................. I have passed the three score and ten age promised, and am doing my weak-best to be prepared. I believe most of us, or myself anyway, fear when entering God's presence, and will shamefully think "if I had only known", What I could have done. And what He has done, anyway, for me.

Note to all denizens of Southern California ......I hate you all....... snow and ice everywhere at my house , just another winter day here #*&#*#&!,!!! Where is all that global warming when you need it? Lol

It was about 76 today and sunny as usual. The temps do drop a little bit at night.

In My Father's House are Many Rooms 1Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. 2In My Father’shouse are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.…John 14:2

❤️ 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Revelation 22:12-14 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Amen! Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord!

THATS RIGHT SISTER . OH Let the people PRAISE THE LORD .

I saw the other side of that as an NCO in the Air Force. Lots of divorces and adultery due to deployments, and most were the nasty kind with kids involved. Not something I was all that comfortable talking with someone about since I was (and still am) single. I've heard the same thing the pastor has too. I guess that should be filed under, "Be careful what you ask for." - because you might get it! ?

Seek to walk godly in Jesus which, of course, includes prayer....then the Lord will eventually lead you to a godly man. Since you have a desire to marry, you apparently do not have a single calling.

In Australia today...nice and sunny 18 degrees!

That is a miracle, JTC....that in that empty, rough, huge ocean, that boat appeared and the man saw the small reflection of sunlight on one of the scuba tanks! That is quite amazing.

Hanging between 31-33 degrees all day. Had a heavy powdering of snow late yesterday afternoon. Got an unusual call that Wed. Bible study called off because of the weather / roads. I was looking forward to see if I could keep the car on the slick country roads in the dark or not ? I thought I'd drive the wife's car, you know... Just in case. Maybe it's just my perception, but here in NW Tennessee, it seems we didn't have any fall, went directly from summer weather to winter?

Man it was cold heading out to chemo 45 degrees. But it is lovely this afternoon. In the 70s. Sunny. This makes our summers bearable.

And the LORD took and clothed his own in robes of white righteousness . That in HIM they would be made the righteousness of GOD . And have new hearts wherein dwells the LOVE FOR TRUTH . And those who are his , LEAPED UP WITH JOY and said, TO THE LORD be all glory and no matter what we suffer , whether we live or die , WE THE LORDS .

If you have a desire to get married, then it IS Gods will for you to get married, but that does not mean you can't live a life of prayer while you wait on God.

We all try to cut people slack where we can--since we're born again. The Bible has not instance where it says, however, "This sin is okay with God, because there were circumstances..." Can you think of one?

Well eileenhat, I'm not disparaging you or going to argue or debate your personal biblical hermeneutic views. But it seems our biblical views are a great divide apart and I wouldn't know where to begin anyway? God Bless

Canada is trying to pass Nation wide a new Act called the "Nanny Act" but I call it the "Hitler Act" It already is in Ontario, they are trying to bring it into Alberta (they are fighting it). They want to make it so the parents no longer have control of your own children, but your children belongs to the province. And it is your children that can dictate, and decide what gender that they want to be; And if a parent does not sign an agreement that states you agree with what the government and schools teach your children then they can, and will take your children away. A childs personal religion no longer matters....!

You need to learn your verses, the fun way I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalms 119:11 ESV Get some verses into your heart after you have got them into your mind by learning them, then you will sin less and therefore feel good instead of horrid. Learning verses sounds boring I know, but there are ways that are fun. In this post I have mentioned a smartphone app. Forum members, please suggest other fun ways for people that do not have such techology e.g. have a Word off challenge with your friend at home; have a competition to see who can remember the most verses with their references. Get the "Remember Me" verse learning app on your smartphone. - Different styles of learning on the app e.g. it covers up words on the verse so that you have to guess and thus learn. Bit like a game and there are other fun ways too. - Use a bible version you enjoy so you will keep on with it. - Don't use the preloaded compilations of verses, find verses that are suited specificly to you. Remember the bible context of the verse though please. - Get Psalm verses that give you faith and then get Proverb verses so that you can receive Proverbs wisdom by faith. Knowing the Word well is vital so please relax and try your best to do it. Salmon, oops uh, Shalom ?

' And it came to pass, .. that when Isaac was old, .... and his eyes were dim, ...... so that he could not see, ........ he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, "My son:" and he said unto him, "Behold, here am I." And he said, "Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. ' (Gen 27:1-4) Praise God!

'And Esau was forty years old .. when he took to wife Judith .... the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, ...... and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: ........ Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.' (Gen 26:34) Praise God!

. MARK.3:28-30 (NKJV) = The Unpardonable Sin 28 “Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; 29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”— 30 because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.” . In the proper context, the unpardonable sin only applied to the Pharisees who had falsely accused the Person, Jesus Christ, of having an unclean spirit when He was performing miracles, signs and wonders by having the power of the Holy Spirit of God in Him. It does not apply to people today since Jesus Christ is no longer physically present on earth performing miracles, signs and wonders. Do the "Woes to the Scribes and Pharisees" of MATTHEW.23 also apply to people today.? If murderers like David and Paul could be saved from hell by Jesus Christ through repentance and faith, I don't see why someone who has sold his/her soul to Satan cannot be saved from hell by Jesus Christ if God so wills it. IOW, no one today is unsaveable, but this will no longer apply at the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ to earth.

All of our sins have been paid for. And the eternal penalty. Not by us, nor our confessing them. By our Savior. There is not one believer in existence who perfectly confesses every single sin he/she ever committed. The RCC believes a venial sin (like a misdemeanor) can be paid for in purgatory through suffering, or you can get out of jail sooner if someone pays a priest to say a mass. However, a mortal sin (felony) cannot be forgiven after death, so straight to jail (hell). Not sure if last rites can supersede that, though. This is NOT scriptural. I confess all day long saying "that was/is/can be sin" whenever I have found myself to have missed the mark that my conscience sees. I simply agree with God. (confess) I agree, and I need to raise my level of 'righteousness', of doing the right thing. It is not always about having done something wrong spelled out in scripture. More often, I mention to myself/God, I could have done better. Not get by with the bare minimum, but trying to "repay a debt, above and beyond the amount due". NOT about works for debt for salvation!!!! But because, as sorry a sinner that I am, I just want to do better. To try to not only not miss the mark, but try to get a bullseye. God has a purpose for us agreeing with Him concerning not hitting His mark. When I confess/agree I have missed His mark, His standard, I'm recording, remembering, I'm programming my brain (hard drive) with new data, truth, and agreeing the old (false)data is that,false. The more I record/program truth, the more times I end up saying/confessing/agreeing to God, "that would have been sin, and not that was sin". It works. For me.

Yes I believe in miracles, the Bible is full of them. I've even had things happen to me that might be called a minor miracle. Here are a few. For 10 yrs I was a Taxi driver and 1 company I worked for insisted we come in even if we were too sleepy. I had to go in and work it was the only way to pay the rent. I fell asleep while driving many times but something happened to always wake me up, even if it was in the nick of time. I knew God was watching over me. Of course I was working and I had no choice. I also had a minor miracle happen 47 yrs ago in Florida. I went Scuba diving with my cousin and a friend we met down there. On this particular day the ocean was too rough for our little boat. I said no, we shouldn't go but the other 2 insisted so we went. We were about 2 miles out and we dove on a sunken yacht. We were fighting all the way out there and none of us made sure the boat was securely anchored. The ocean was so rough that day that nearly any other boats were out there. When we surfaced from the dive our boat was gone. There we were, 2 miles out in 6 ft seas with the tide going out and no other boats we could see. We started swimming towards shore but even after 1 hour we made little to no headway. We were all scared, in Florida a hungry shark is always a real possibility. Most likely we would have drowned. But after another hour a 42 ft boat who was out even further was coming in. One man was on their flying bridge and from up there he saw something shine. They were far away. The sunlight hit the chrome on 1 of our tanks and they saw it. So they cam to rescue us. We lived and I'm still here. I consider that a minor miracle.

I am so glad you are enjoying the song as much as I am. It's on my gym playlist for a reason! Gets me going! He was a true trailblazer. He brought about a lot of change and was harshly criticized and judged for it. I think he is my favorite artist. Really like the song Six O Clock News too. And Why Don't You Look Into Jesus.

Thank you for trying! It's surprising since it such a popular song!
